9.0 Connect Ground Connectors
9.1 Before cutting ground wires, reposition the spliced power conductors so that the
conductors are returned to the natural helix of the cable.
9.2 Lay the ground wires in their natural position in the valley between two power
conductors. Cut ground to lengths staggered to avoid connection over power
conductor connections.
9.3 Join conductors with proper connectors and appropriate crimping tool.
9.4 If present, connect the ground check conductor after trimming to proper length
and removing one connector length of insulation from each lead. Use proper
connector and crimping tool.
9.5 For ground check, clean the insulation 1" (25 mm) on both sides of the
connection and apply one half-lapped layer of 1700P tape, one half-lapped layer
130C tape (tacky side DOWN), and one half-lapped layer of 1700P tape over
the connector and the cleaned insulation.
